About me
Four things I could never do withoutLaptop
Coffee
Good food
Design
I won a lot of things. Two travels, smartphones, kitchen tools and robot, bags, shopping cards, and lots and lots of cosmetics. In that period I was jobless and in a severe depression, taking part in contests helped me to stay without thinking about my problems. Winning contests is just about statistics, as far as I've tried and tested, you win about 2-3 contests every 100 you take part in. Don't get fooled by people that brags about winning everything and often. If they do, it only means that for them it is like a full time job. And it is a frustating one, I assure you. Often there is something you want so much that goes to someone else that takes part in contests to resell thing. Because at least 90% of contesting people does it on regular basis and after a while you get to know each one of them. That, usually, take part in contests with multiple accounts. To contribute to frustation there are friends and relatives too, that see your hobby as stupid and don't want the assle to spend time in contesting but they never miss a chance to ask in gift what you won because, after all, you didn't paid it. I've stopped senseless contesting about two years ago. From time to time I take part in a contest for some big prize (one never knows) but I find more rewarding buying what I really want and choose. If you have more questions contact me anytime.
Does your culture/ethnicity/race play a large role in your identity?Of course it does, those all are the fundament of our identities, it is undeniable. It doesn't automatically imply, however that one does not have respect for other's culture and ethnicity. This depends on individual personality.

I've taken a course about dropshipping Amazon to Ebay. I had read here and there that it is a quick, easy and inexpensive way to make some money so I wanted to learn a little more about it. I think it is not a thing for me. To make some money with this method you have to put on ebay thousands of listing and subscribe to an autolister software to manage them because Amazon changes its prices continuously and you have to change yours accordingly or you risk a loss instead of a (little) gain. It means that you have to pay both an ebay shop and a rather expensive autolister just to start. And most of all it is really time consuming.
I hoped in a way to make some bucks while I'm getting on the right path with my job, but I'm sorry to say it's definitely a NO.
Does any of you have some experience with it?

My life has already changed a lot since last year. This time one year ago I spent most of my time in bed, unable to move because too fat. I was sad and hopeless. I never went outside, and I was almost unable to drive the car because of my size. Now I've lost 46 kg, I have a walk outside most of days, I have a part time job in a hotel while I'm studying to get updated on my profession. It's the nearest thing to a miracle I've ever experienced in my life.

Writing a schedule for each day of the week with ASANA app. I'm not a person that usually follows schedules or todo list, I'm not disciplinated at all and I'm aware this is one of my worse flaws. I really need, however, to follow a path to organize my days, things I have to do (ie. housekeeping or work projects) and things I have to learn and focus on.

Cleaned my ebook folders from duplicates saving about 3GB space!
If you're interested, I've used a little software called Duplicate Files Finder that I have in external Hard disk in my portableapps.com folder.

Reordered a bit design courses and ebooks, cleaned and catalogued emails. Still a lot of work to do here, but I'm on my way to decluttering.
